JERUSALEM—Israeli police faced off with fireworks-hurling Palestinians in the alleyways of Jerusalem’s Old City on Sunday as they entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound to secure the way for Jewish visitors to the shrine.
Violence at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, which erupted on Friday, has raised fears about a slide back into deeper conflict over the site as the Muslim month of Ramadan coincides with the Jewish festival of Passover. Christians also marked Easter in Jerusalem on Sunday.
